How do others deal with back chat / answering back? 8yo child driving me whacky!!!! I'm not expecting what I say goes by any means, but it's just flippin constant.

I’m driven crazy with this recently; no idea if it’s the best approach but I’ve started just shutting the conversation down and not getting into a back and forth. I’ll also explain why something is the way it is and then I say I’ve given you an answer/explanation and I’m not going to continue with this. Otherwise it seems to just end in me telling DC off for back chat.

At least it's not just me.
Probably very wise to not feed the beast!
